I've always been a big fan of quilts in which the pattern of the fabric does most of the design work. Such quilts are generally simple to piece, but require a great deal of imagination to create. I saw several quilts at the Houston show that performed this feat magnificently.
And lest you be fool enough to think that this is a new item in the quilters' bag of tricks, here's a stunner from the 1840's!
